U.S. stock futures fell on Friday after two consecutive days of decline on Wednesday and Thursday. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket trading.
Stocks slid as investors digested the new auto tariffs levied on foreign cars and auto parts.
President Donald Trump also warned that he would impose much higher tariffs on the EU and Canada if they retaliate against his planned tariffs.
In a Truth Social post, he threatened large-scale tariffs to counter any economic harm from the two allies. While he has recently hinted at targeting them in his upcoming "Liberation Day" tariffs, no direct actions have been taken yet.
Traders will watch out for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s preferred measure of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, specifically the core PCE, which excludes food and energy prices due to their volatility.
With the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.32% and the 2-year at 3.99%, the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a> shows markets pricing in an 88.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve maintaining current interest rates through its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
According to the analysts at BlackRock, the weight of non-U.S. equities in global equity indexes has been on the rise since the end of January. This is caused by the policy uncertainty, which has shaken the investor belief in the U.S. growth and equity strength, pulling the S&amp;P 500 down more than 3%, the note added.
&#8220;The selloff has been exacerbated by investors rapidly pulling out of popular trades – like the tech-heavy momentum equity style factor and cyclical trades that were betting on a boost from growth from potential U.S. deregulation and tax cuts.&#8221;
&#8220;We stay overweight U.S. stocks on a six- to 12-month tactical horizon. Yet prolonged uncertainty could hurt both U.S. and global risk assets,&#8221; the note adds.
Meanwhile, as the uncertainty around tariffs mounts, Michael Townsend, managing director of legislative and regulatory affairs with Schwab, said that &#8220;The White House has been sending mixed signals.&#8221;
&#8220;First, saying that they would be imposed on all countries, then more recently saying they will initially focus on 10 to 15 countries with which the U.S. has big trade deficits. The plan also was to announce tariffs on automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors next week, but those reportedly will be delayed. The uncertainty is driving companies and investors crazy.&#8221;

Porsche Automobil Holding Expects Impairment Of 2.5B To 3.5B Euros In Porsche Ag

Porsche (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRPRY#OTC">DRPRY</a>) reportedly issued another recall for a series of high-end Taycan electric vehicles (EVs) in China due to problems related to brakes, marking the second such <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/recall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">action in the last year.</a>
According to an announcement on China&#8217;s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) website today, the luxury automaker is recalling 17,278 imported Taycan series EVs manufactured between January 7, 2020, and April 24, 2024, <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/07/05/porsche-recalls-17278-imported-taycan-evs-china/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>CnEV Post.
According to the announcement, the recall is scheduled to commence on August 31, 2024.

Due to design issues, the front brake hoses on these vehicles may develop cracks, potentially leading to brake fluid leakage.
According to the announcement, this issue could potentially lead to reduced braking effectiveness, longer braking distances, and an increased risk of vehicle crashes, CnEV Post added.
Porsche will authorize dealers to replace the front axle brake hoses free of charge for the affected vehicles to address this safety concern.
Previously, in October 2023, Porsche recalled 2,570 Taycan EVs in China due to concerns about battery thermal runaway. Additionally, in 2022, there were two other recalls of Taycan EVs in China, as reported by CnEVPost.
The report added that Taycan is among the highest-priced EVs available in China.

<h3>Strong Generative AI Efforts Aid Prospects</h3>
Adobe&#39;s near and long-term prospects are expected to gain from its strong efforts toward leveraging generative AI to deliver groundbreaking innovation across its portfolio. 
The company has been aggressively integrating Firefly into its Creative Cloud flagship applications and Adobe Express to provide enhanced user experience. 
ADBE&#39;s effort to integrate the power of Acrobat AI Assistant into PDF is boosting the adoption of the product in the near term. 
Adobe&#39;s unveiling of the Firefly Image 2 Model, Firefly Vector Model and Firefly Design Model to mark a significant advancement in its creative generative AI model family is noteworthy. 
The company recently launched Generative Remove in Adobe Lightroom, which is a powerful Firefly-backed tool that helps remove unwanted objects from any photo in a single click in a non-destructive manner. 
The launch of Adobe Express for Enterprise, which is powered by Firefly Image Model 3, is helping the company gain traction across various enterprises. 
The introduction of Photoshop&#39;s web version, which is available via Firefly-powered AI tools, generative expand and generative fill, enables file collaboration through sharing links, even without subscriptions. 
The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company is also witnessing the strong adoption of Generative Fill in Photoshop, which allows the creation of images in new ways and acceleration of editing workflows.
<h3>Strong Customer &amp; Partner Bases Aid Growth</h3>
A solid portfolio is helping ADBE in expanding its customer base. 
International Business Machines (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ibm#NYSE">IBM</a>) is one of the notable customers leveraging Adobe Firefly. IBM was able to generate 200 campaign assets and more than 1,000 marketing variations in moments rather than months using Firefly models. 
Adobe&#39;s other key customer wins include the likes of AECOM (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acm#NYSE">ACM</a>), Capital Group, Dentsu (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dntuf#OTC">DNTUF</a>), Nintendo (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ntdof#OTC">NTDOF</a>), Berkshire Hathaway, Northrop Grumman (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/noc#NYSE">NOC</a>), Porsche&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/poahf#OTC">POAHF</a>) and the U.S. Navy. 
ADBE&#39;s strategic partnerships with Microsoft (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) are also shaping its growth trajectory by driving its customer momentum. 
The integration of Acrobat PDF technology into Microsoft Edge and Alphabet&#39;s Google Chrome is a major plus. Adobe is experiencing rising free-to-paid conversions on the back of its Acrobat extensions for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. 
In addition, Adobe&#39;s recent partnership with Microsoft to provide marketing insights and workflows from Adobe Experience Cloud applications and Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Microsoft Copilot in order to assist marketers in creative briefs development, content creation and content approval management, is noteworthy.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Adobe is well-poised to benefit from its strong generative AI-powered product offerings and cloud strategy. A strong market position in the PDF category, compelling product lines, continued innovation and a growing footprint in emerging markets should drive its business growth. 
Moreover, ADBE is trading at a significant discount, with a forward 12-month P/E of 24.04X compared with the industry&#39;s 31.85X, making it a good opportunity for investors.

How to Play Adobe Stock Ahead of Its Q2 Earnings?

Volkswagen AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) luxury vehicle subsidiary, Audi <a href="https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/vorsprung-durch-technik-recharged-audi-and-saic-further-strengthen-partnership-16026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said </a>it is planning to develop new models built on a China-specific platform named &#8220;Advanced Digitized Platform&#8221; for the next generations of premium intelligent, connected vehicles (ICV) along with SAIC<a href="https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/vorsprung-durch-technik-recharged-audi-and-saic-further-strengthen-partnership-16026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.</a>
The cooperation will further expand Audi&#8217;s BEV portfolio in China and accelerate Audi&#8217;s transformation&nbsp;in&nbsp;the biggest market in the world.
The first three BEV models will cover the B and C segments and&nbsp;will help Audi to reduce time-to-market&nbsp;by more than 30%&nbsp;with the&nbsp;first model&nbsp;to&nbsp;enter the market in 2025.
The move marks further cooperation between Audi and SAIC, which began with Volkswagen&#8217;s announcement in July of a $700 million investment in&nbsp;Xpeng&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) for a 4.99% stake, along with&nbsp;plans to co-develop two Volkswagen-branded EV models by 2026, reported Reuters.
This collaboration highlights the increasing reliance of European automakers on Chinese technological expertise in the EV sector.&nbsp;
Stellantis&nbsp;N.V.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) recently revealed that its partnership with Chinese company&nbsp;Leapmotor&nbsp;will bring two&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38821203/chinese-ev-startup-leapmotor-partners-with-stellantis-to-debut-new-models-in-europe" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leapmotor models to the European market starting in September.</a>

&#8220;The Volkswagen Group is accelerating its electric campaign with the consistent implementation of its &#8220;in China for China&#8221; approach. In this respect, we are relying in particular on the strong cooperation with our joint venture partners,&#8221; said a member of the Group Board of Management for the China region, Ralf Brandstätter.
A joint project team has&nbsp;been set up&nbsp;with Fermín Soneira from Audi as the CEO.&nbsp;
&nbsp;&#8220;We have a clear and common goal: to combine the best of our two companies to the full advantage of our Chinese customers with Audi&#8217;s premium experience and SAIC&#8217;s innovation speed in China,&#8221; said Audi AG CEO Gernot Döllner.
The report further mentioned Audi currently uses Volkswagen&#8217;s MEB platform for its Q4 e-tron and Q5 e-tron models in China, developed through joint ventures with&nbsp;both&nbsp;SAIC and FAW.

Volkswagen's Audi Partners With SAIC For New EV Platform In China

California-based EV startup Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36840882/its-official-teslas-model-y-rewrites-history-as-first-ev-to-top-global-car-sales-just-as-musk-predic">supersedes legacy players</a> like BMW (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>) and Porsche (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHF#OTC">POAHF</a>) in consumer satisfaction, as per a recent survey. 
What Happened: Consumer Reports ranked Rivian at the top in owner satisfaction among 29 vehicle brands with 86% of owners saying in a survey that they would purchase a vehicle from the company again. The top position was previously occupied by EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) who has now slipped to the 5th position with only 74% of owners expressing willingness to buy a Tesla car again.
Rivian also scored well in specific areas including driving dynamics, vehicle comfort, cabin storage, and ownership costs. 
Others to feature in the top five most loved auto brands include Mini, BMW, and Porsche. Interestingly, Mini jumped 11 spots to get to number 2. 
The least owner satisfaction is from owners of Infiniti, Volkswagen, Nissan, Jeep, and Audi vehicles, the report noted. 
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe responded to the report and said, &#8220;Great work team!!&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Rivian currently has two electric vehicles in its lineup- the R1T truck and the R1S SUV, both priced at over $70,000. The company is currently working on its lower-priced R2 platform. 
During the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/11/35659331/rivian-stock-upshifts-on-strong-q3-earnings-eps-beat-revenue-beat-increased-production-guidance-and" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter earnings call,</a>&nbsp;CFO&nbsp;Claire McDonough&nbsp;announced that R2 platform production would commence in 2026, with product unveilings expected in early 2024. The R2, while retaining the brand&#8217;s essence, will be more compact and available at a lower price point.
&#8220;There&#8217;s an extreme vacuum of choice we feel in the sort of $45,000 to $50,000 price range for midsize SUVs,&#8221; Scaringe then said, highlighting the limited options and concentrated market share held by Tesla, whose Model 3 starts at $38,990, while the Model Y begins at $43,990.

Rivian Beats Tesla, BMW In Customer Satisfaction: Elon Musk's EV Giant Slips To 5th Position: Survey

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35803714/in-the-fast-lane-xiaomis-first-car-is-an-ev-with-a-top-speed-of-165mph">unveiled its first electric vehicle</a>, the SU7. The company plans to compete against industry frontrunners Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Porsche AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHF#OTC">POAHF</a>) over the next two decades.
What Happened: The SU7, also known as Speed Ultra, was launched on Thursday, as <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-28/xiaomi-launches-first-su7-ev-with-ambition-to-be-china-s-porsche-or-tesla?leadSource=uverify%20wall">reported</a> by Bloomberg. The batteries powering this vehicle are developed by Chinese firms Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. and BYD Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>).
CEO and co-founder Lei Jun views this foray into electric vehicles as a $10 billion opportunity to shake up the transport industry. The SU7 will vie for a place in a market already saturated with multiple models from various brands.

With the SU7, Xiaomi aims to create a vehicle that can compete with Tesla&#8217;s Model S in technology and Porsche's Taycan Turbo in performance. While the pricing details of the SU7 are yet to be revealed, it is anticipated to be significantly cheaper than its competitors.
Why It Matters: Despite the evolving regulations and increasing competition in China, Xiaomi has collaborated with state-owned Beijing Automotive Group Co. to produce the EVs. The company is also in the process of obtaining a sales license for the SU7 in China. The SU7 is slated to be available for purchase next year.
Earlier this month, CEO Lei Jun expressed lofty ambitions for the company&#8217;s debut vehicle. According to a recent interview, Jun stated, &#8220;I came into car building with an aim to win,&#8221; highlighting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36279169/xiaomi-ceo-lei-jun-sets-high-expectations-in-ev-came-into-car-building-with-an-aim-to-win">company&#8217;s significant investment </a>in research and development for the EV, exceeding industry standards by a substantial margin.

Chinese Smartphone Giant Xiaomi Enters Electric Vehicle Market, Targets Tesla, Porsche With SU7

Major automakers, including&nbsp;General Motors Company&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>),&nbsp;Toyota Motor Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tm#NYSE">TM</a>), and&nbsp;Volkswagen AG&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vwagy#OTC">VWAGY</a>), along with two air bag manufacturers, have reportedly expressed opposition to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration&#39;s (NHTSA) recommendation to recall 52 million air bag inflators.
The NHTSA&#39;s suggestion for a recall arises from concerns that air bag inflators produced by ARC Automotive and Delphi Automotive might rupture, causing metal fragments to disperse.
This issue is linked to one fatality and seven injuries in the U.S., following an extensive eight-year government investigation. If enforced, this recall would mark the second-largest in U.S. automotive history, reported Reuters.
Automakers and manufacturers are contesting the NHTSA&#39;s proposal, arguing that the risks posed by these inflators are minimal, the report noted. ARC, in particular, reportedly highlighted the improbability of new ruptures, estimating less than one occurrence in the next 33 years, according to NHTSA&#39;s estimated failure rate.
According to the report, the contentious inflators have been used in vehicles manufactured from 2000 to early 2018 by 12 different automakers, including&nbsp;Ford Motor Company&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>),&nbsp;Mercedes-Benz&nbsp;Group&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mbgyy#OTC">MBGYY</a>),&nbsp;BMW&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmwyy#OTC">BMWYY</a>),&nbsp;Hyundai Motor Company&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hymtf#OTC">HYMTF</a>), and&nbsp;Kia Corporation.
NHTSA&#39;s call for a voluntary recall in May was initially rejected by ARC. General Motors, which had already recalled 1 million ARC inflators following a rupture incident in March, said NHTSA&#39;s decision lacked sufficient evidence, as per the report.
Both GM and&nbsp;Stellantis&nbsp;N.V.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stla#NYSE">STLA</a>) reportedly described NHTSA&#39;s actions as &quot;arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law.&quot;&nbsp;
Price Action: GM shares are trading lower by 0.36% at $35.74 in premarket on the last check Wednesday.

Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, Porsche managed to maintain robust business figures for Q3 2023, delivering 242,722 vehicles to customers in&nbsp;the first three quarters of&nbsp;the year.

Porsche Announces Expanded Partnership With Google For Enhanced Digital Services In Future Cars

German luxury car manufacturer,&nbsp;Audi AG, owned by&nbsp;Volkswagen AG&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vwagy#OTC">VWAGY</a>), is in talks with&nbsp;SAIC Motor Corp&nbsp;to acquire an electric vehicle platform.
SAIC Motor is a Chinese state-owned automaker. The company plans to take over the EV platform owned by SAIC&#39;s EV unit, IM Motors, reported&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/audi-talks-buy-chinese-automaker-saics-ev-platform-sources-2023-07-12/" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">Reuters</a>.
The development comes in the wake of Audi&#39;s subpar sales performance in China. It also reflects the pressure on legacy automobile manufacturers to capture a piece of the world&#39;s largest auto market.
The report further noted IM Motors began delivering its first model, the L7 sedan, in June 2022 as a premium EV brand.

Porsche Beats Parent Volkswagen To Become Europe's Most Valuable Carmaker All In A Week Of Its Trading Debut

Volkswagen AG&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vwagy#OTC">VWAGY</a>) shared plans to list a minority stake in the Porsche sports-car maker in 2022 amid inflation and the Russia-Europe energy standoff,&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/porsche-ipo-plans-progressing-no-decision-yet-vw-cfo-2022-09-05/" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">Reuters reports</a>.
VW weighed an initial public offering between September and October, making way for one of Europe&#39;s leading IPO.
Investors&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28665349/porsche-ipo-commands-valuation-of-up-to-85b-amid-global-headwinds-report" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">expect a valuation</a>&nbsp;between &euro;60 billion and &euro;85 billion ($60 billion to $85 billion),&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/volkswagen-to-list-porsche-in-one-of-biggest-ipos-in-years-11662413312" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">the Wall Street Journal reports</a>, marking a sharp contrast to the falling valuations of other luxury carmakers like Aston Martin and Ferrari.
VW split Porsche&#39;s stock into 50% ordinary shares and 50% nonvoting preferred stock.
VW looks to list Porsche on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and offer 25% of Porsche&#39;s preferred stock to private investors.
The Porsche family heirs, who own a majority stake in VW, will purchase 25% plus one share or voting stock through their listed family investment fund,&nbsp;Porsche Automobile Holding SE&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/poahf#OTC" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">POAHF</a>).
Porsche SE has agreed to purchase the shares at the IPO price plus a 7.5% premium bagging effective control over major strategic decisions on the board and in shareholder meetings.
The Qatar Investment Authority looks to acquire 4.99% of Porsche&#39;s preferred stock, becoming a cornerstone investor.
VW, which will continue to hold the remainder of Porsche&#39;s stock, will distribute 49% of the proceeds from the IPO and the private placement to VW shareholders in the form of a special dividend. VW would likely pay the dividend in 2023.
Investors cautioned against selling nonvoting shares to the public, making it difficult for VW to get top dollar for the sports car maker. Investors feared insiders continuing to exercise control over the company at the expense of private investors.
Investors also feared Oliver Blume&#39;s&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/07/28172924/volkswagen-appoints-oliver-blume-as-chairman" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">dual role as</a>&nbsp;CEO of both VW and Porsche could trigger conflicts of interest. Earlier, VW CFO Arno Antlitz assured immense investor appetite and capital for an IPO.&nbsp;
Volkswagen is also amid an expensive transition to electric vehicles akin to its peers. VW has been losing its share in its biggest market due to poor handling of the chip crisis and lack of digital features.
Price Action:&nbsp;POAHF shares traded higher by 0.55% at $69.92 in the premarket on the last check Tuesday.

Volkswagen Goes Ahead With Porsche IPO, Defying Odds

On CNBC&rsquo;s &ldquo;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2022/02/09/final-trades-amd-cme-group-porsche-more.html">Halftime Report Final Trades</a>,&rdquo; Joseph Terranova of Virtus Investment Partners named Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amd#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) as his pick. &ldquo;AMD has been a fun stock to trade the last year and candidly something that I&rsquo;ve been comfortable with and done well at it,&rdquo; he added.
Terranova mentioned that he had bought more shares of Advanced Micro Devices on Jan.&nbsp;31, when the price was &ldquo;a little bit below $110.&rdquo; He added to that position on Tuesday and plans to use a stop at $116.75, so that &ldquo;a winning trade can&rsquo;t turn into a losing one.&rdquo;
Karen Firestone of Aureus Asset Management chose CME Group Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cme#NASDAQ">CME</a>) as her pick, following its &ldquo;very strong quarter.&rdquo; The company is poised to benefit from the Fed&rsquo;s rate hike.
Around 30% of the company&rsquo;s business is futures and that business grew 50% the last time the Fed tightened, Firestone mentioned. CME Group has strong cash flows, offers a 4% dividend yield and have futures on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-bitcoin-a-good-investment/">bitcoin</a> and ether, she added.
Stephen Weiss of Short Hills Capital Partners named Porsche Automobil Holding (OTCPK: POAHF) as his pick, while Jon Najarian chose US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/usfd#NYSE">USFD</a>).

CNBC's Final Trades: Advanced Micro Devices, Porsche, US Foods And This Derivatives Exchange

Volvo ADR (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vlvly#OTC">VLVLY</a>), owned by Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gelyf#OTC">GELYF</a>),&nbsp;has <a href="https://www.media.volvocars.com/us/en-us/media/pressreleases/277409/volvo-cars-to-be-fully-electric-by-2030">announced</a> plans to become a fully electric vehicle&nbsp;company by 2030.
What Happened: Volvo&nbsp;launched its first fully EV, the XC40 Recharge, in select global markets last year. Volvo&rsquo;s&nbsp;second fully EV, the C40 Recharge,&nbsp;is being previewed for the media today for release later this year.
The company&nbsp;stated in a press release that half of its global sales will consist of&nbsp;EVs&nbsp;by 2025, with the rest hybrids, and all vehicles will be fully electric within nine years. The company also plans to only sell its EVs&nbsp;online.
&quot;There is no long-term future for cars with an internal combustion engine,&quot; said Henrik Green, chief technology officer. &quot;We are firmly committed to becoming an electric-only car maker and the transition should happen by 2030. It will allow us to meet the expectations of our customers and be a part of the solution when it comes to fighting climate change.&quot;
Why It Matters: Volvo is the latest automobile manufacturer to switch its entire product line&rsquo;s future into EVs, following General Motors Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>) and Tata Motors Limited ADR&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ttm#NYSE">TTM</a>)&nbsp;down the road away from the gas pump.
Elsewhere in the automotive industry, Ford Motor Company&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>) plans to invest $1 billion in an EV&nbsp;production facility in Germany&nbsp;to make all of its European-based vehicles electric by 2030, while Volkswagen AG (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vwagy#OTC">VWAGY</a>) owned by Porsche Automobil&nbsp;Holding SE (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/poahf#OTC">POAHF</a>), plans to have 70 EVs on the market by 2030.
